Chlorine, damages the hair, add hair extensions to your hair when they get wet, weighs your hair down, stressing & pulling the hair, causing them to get too heavy.
Hair extensions are like wearing hair accessories. They can be washed, and dyed, but the are damaging & drying to normal hair, but whatever damage normal hair gets, happens to hair extensions, because they are HAIR ACCESSORIES. If the get damaged, you can't reverse the damaged, you'll have to buy a new one.
I have hair extensions on mine (feather) it's been on my hair since march, but only a few strands.
I recommend BEAD EXTENSIONS
"Bead hair extensions are better for use on someone with thick hair, while fusion hair extensions can be used on someone with thinner hair," said an Opulence Inc. representative. "Fusion hair extensions tend to be more discrete, good for the fringe and crown. Bead hair extensions are a faster way of applying and removing the extensions."
Also known as I-tip hair extensions, bead extensions use a non-slip micro bead to attach a Keratin-tip hair extension to existing hair on the head; the tip looks much like the end of a shoelace tip. Professional stylists attach bead hair extensions by using a lock tool and bead loop tool. They are semi-permanent and last from three to six months depending upon quality of care.
EXAMPLES OF WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT their HAIR EXTENSIONS:
I have sewn in hair extensions. My natural hair is neck-length, and these extensions are down to my chest. They're sewn in (if you didn't already know) with black tracks, while the hair is my natural hair colour: brown. But I want to have it up in a high-ish ponytail. But, obviously, the tracks are really obvious. How can I make them less obvious?
I hate having to have my hair down all the time. I've always wanted it, but now I'm getting bored. :/
Example:
I removed my hair extensions yesterday after 4 months. My hair is really thin does any1 no any good products to thicken it?
Another example: I'm really desperate on getting my hair back on track because I've been stupidly using clip-in extensions and because it ripped my hair out they are now becoming a necessity. This is really bugging me because I like to have my own hair and I really regret ever using them now.
And another ex:
i bought 100 dollars clip in 100% human hair extensions and it hurts and pulls my hair. u shud just wait til it grows out. my hair was real short and i wanted extensions real bad and now i feel bad wasting 100 bucks on that where i cud of spent it on clothes or sumother beauty thing. ur not going to wear them after a while cuz u get annoyed having to keep clipping them in and all or whateever kind of extensions ur getting.
Another extensions, hers cost $600:
I got the pure extensions on Thursday their the ones the get put in your using a little barrel and clamping it shut . My coworker put them in as kind of practice since were both new to it but now they are hurting me really bad I have thick hair so she put a lot of rows in and the back of my head is so sore ! I want to take them out but don't want to because I spent 600 dollars on them . Is this normal or did she maybe put them in rong ?
This one says it all:
i have had hair extensions done in a hairdressers in melton mowbray 3weeks ago. i have been told they are 100% real hair but they look terrible,it looks like i have been back-combing it. if i curl them it just goes frizzy and if i straighten them it also goes very frizzy with the back-coming look. i have bought all the products that was advised and i have looked after them the way i was told to. i have had hair extensions before and they were lovely, i had no problems. i have been back 2 times to the hairdressers for help and advise and i was told that the hair is rubbing on my shoulders which is giving the back-combing look (my shoulders are not that big). i am now asking for my money back and the hair taken out but they are refusing. i have spoke to the hairdressing federation and they told me to call trading standards, they said to get them tested but i do not know where to send them. thanks for any help.
